Sinema isn't a Democrat

Also pretty sure it will need 60 votes to pass the Senate unless its included in a spending bill

It was a unanimous vote in the Senate, that's saying something

Do it

my thoughts as well

turning a fundamental issue about broader data privacy protections and the lack thereof in the USA into petty nationalist FP hawking games isn't a good thing

i get the motivations though, silicon valley is feeling threatened on their bottom line and they need their government buddies to do something about it and they hide it behind a veil of xenophobic american nationalism and that they have "real concerns"

Exactly, which is why its insane that the House iced it out.

Deleting Facebook, Snapchat, Whatsapp and Insta if they do that

Meta is a US intelligence front. Of course they dont care about what it does.

If you think TikTok is “selling your data” in the same way facebook and instagram are, you haven’t been properly informed. China has no boundaries between the private sector and their government. If they want to geolocate the children of a potential target asset who works at secure facility, they can do that, without a warrant, whenever they want. They’ve already been caught improperly collecting the data of journalists who report on Chinese affairs. This isn’t just ad data. They collect EVERYTHING. TikTok’s data collection is above and beyond other social media apps, but the bigger issue is who is on the other end of that data collection. Facebook and Apple and other tech companies in the US can and do refuse data collection access to the US government without a warrant - there is no such protection from the Chinese government.

I wonder how you'll feel about the NSA's PRISM program then...

The Americans play the same game as the Chinese

They do a lil trolling

ban that shi

Only happening cause TikTok making the money Zuck wants

Snooze

ban both

Society won't get better from it

so its banned?

If anyone is still defending these big tech companies (not just TikTok), they need to look at these charts and the studies done by Jonathan Haidt. The cope in this thread is wild at this point. Social media needs restrictions.

ban society

lmao

people trash tik tok then go on fb, instagram, youtube etc doing up tik tok

virtual plantations... different shade, same colour who cares lol

Productivity is about to sky rocket and mental illness will prob go down a bit.

Tiktok is a ccp psyop to dumb down gen z

@DAVIDP tap in

this cannot at all in anyway be solely contributed to social media. In fact, maybe there are more material forces at work here lol

every social media platform in the world is an unironic psyop

what do you think the pinpoint algorithms are for, and the various optimization ppl brought on-board, which includes psychologists and ex-Military PSYOPS division people (both ByteDance and Meta utilize these folks)

its all made to drive up profits and to broker mass chunks of data to advertiser, the human is commodified once again

the reason tiktok succeeded IMO was due to its extremely adaptive algorithm and that it was able to give people the content they wanted more instantaneously and its intuitive and simple UX

also love how haidts whole thing in that book you mentioned is just like "we don't need safe space or trigger warnings cuz it weakens people and once more universities adopt this free speech creed market forces will figure it out"
